FORUM POSTING RULES - Read before posting

Forum Rules.

(1) The guiding principle for posting in this forum is moderate yourselves.

(2) Don't write a post that attacks, impugns or denigrates another poster's character. There's an obvious difference between the language of humor and hateful, debased language. Know the difference and post accordingly.

(3) This is a Michigan sports forum. The forum welcomes posts from M's sports rivals. Talking smack, posting sass is what college sports rivalries are all about. Rules (1) and (2) above apply. If you don't want to view the posts of a rival talking smack or sassing, use the ignore feature in User Controls.

(4) This forum is about sharing thoughts, ideas and viewpoints about all sports, any number of subjects and issues, learning stuff from other posters and having fun. There are threads by subject matter within the forum for doing this. Keep the threads on point.

NB: The rules above are not intended to build a case to ban a poster. There are consequences for rule breaking as specified below. That's as far as it should go. Only the most egregious and persistent rule breaking would cause the moderators to consider a ban.

Due Process.

(1) The forum has 6 moderators. Jeff Buchanan, Jon, JD, Hannibal, Oracle, Entropy. None of them want to moderate adult posters who should know better. There may be posts that break the rules.

(2) Posters who, at the sole discretion of a moderator, break a rule will be given a warning post that will site one of the rules listed above as the reason for the deletion.

(3) If the rule breaking behavior continues, a moderator can remove an offending post and any ensuing post that whines about that action. If a moderator removes a post(s) the reason for the removal(s) will be posted with the removal notice that appears in the thread. This should be the end of it. Man up, take responsibility for breaking the rules. The forum moves on. If not, see below.

(4) A poster who has had a warning or a post(s) removed can certify a question by PM to any moderator about that action. Do not complain about the action or attempt to make your case in the forum/threads. Moderators shall do their best to address the question within 72h. At the end of 72h the majority opinion of the moderators responding will be the answer.

(5) Banning a poster for egregious and repeated rule breaking requires a unanimous vote to ban from all 6 moderators. We don't anticipate this will ever happen.

Comment

Like a good Trump gobbler, Kapture insists that we should ignore what Trump said, and pay attention to what he meant. And what he meant is entirely up to the Trump gobbler giving you this "advice".

Thanks to Kapture's translation "There is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea!" actually means "We are in no danger from a North Korea nuke as of this moment ("moment" being defined as the next 10 seconds) despite all the fake news hysteria"

he never said the word eliminated. you want to laugh at Trump calling out fake shit yet peddle in fake ass garbage yourself.

It's irrelevant anyways since anything Trump says means whatever the fuck Kapture or crash translate it to mean. Just like how "Obama had my phones wiretapped!!", with the assistance of a good Trump-to-English translator, became "The FBI inappropriately requested a FISA warrant for a low-level advisor on my campaign because he had previously been recruited by Russian intelligence services. Greatest scandal in history!". After the benefit of translation, Trump's original statement, therefore, can be rendered 100% accurate.

Comment

threat no longer/threat eliminated are the samething. Neither speaks with any sort of specificity of length or permanence.

Kapture just intimated that liberals were the hype machine behind NK being our imminent death knell, even though two pages earlier it was that exact point he used to exalt Don for talking us out of TL:Midnight.

yes, NK has been part of our tier one threat compass. Uhhhh... that hasn't changed, FYI. You don't see Mattis rushing to amend the big 5 to 4. And, certainly, the list wasn't amended to read China, Russia, Iran, isis (really just radicalized Islam), US Free Press.

Don reassuring all that "war game" suspension will save us money. Training exercises like KR are the backbone of combined maneuver/multi domain ops that justify the spending bill he just poured into DoD toys.

I imagine "no longer a nuclear threat" will be the pillow when de-nuc isn't a realistic possibility.

kapture, offer still stands: you are welcome YTC to fire some .50/mk19/320s with me and my soyboy crew. I want to meet #apexpatriarch in person. Bring your running shoes.
